Oscar de la Renta Oscar is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1977, created by Jean-Louis Sieuzac. Oscar opens with Bergamot, Orange Blossom, Gardenia, and Clove, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Iris, and Lavender, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Sandalwood, and Vetiver. Oscar de la Renta's Oscar carries an Acquired verdict, a white floral-led wear.

Oscar is a classic 70s powerhouse, divisive for its 'old-fashioned' vibe, but loved by many for its opulent white florals and warm embrace. It's a journey, not a fleeting trend, demanding confidence but rewarding with a truly unique presence.

Given its strong sillage and impressive longevity, Oscar leans away from everyday office wear where it could be overwhelming. Its rich white floral and amber accords, combined with a 'classy' and 'luxurious' sentiment from reviews, make it perfect for formal events and romantic dates, while being less suited for casual or sporty settings.

About

This is a grand dame of a fragrance, opening with a bold, almost sparkling aldehydic burst, quickly settling into a rich bouquet of creamy white florals like gardenia and tuberose. Beneath this floral heart, a nuanced warmth emerges from cloves and a blend of aromatic spices, before finally resting on a comforting, powdery base of amber, sandalwood, and a whisper of coconut, maintaining a sophisticated depth throughout.
